- Constant churn, very chaotic - No vision or direction - Unstable (layoffs frequently) - Minimal R&D - Bad management - Huge communication gaps in organization I worked on 4 different products in the 5 years that I was at NetApp. Management was constantly ripping the rug out from us and moving us to the hot new product. Could be really jarring at times especially after getting comfortable with something new. Layoffs happened 3 times while I was there, I was effected as well (severance is solid though fwiw). Company is surviving off legacy products and rolling the dice every 2 years or so on 10+ different product lines to see if something lands (usually with no success). Long story short, it's a good paying easy role with solid WLB. But career growth is difficult here and the work is really chaotic.
